Germany permanently troops in Lithuania

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Monday announced plans to permanently station 4,000 soldiers in NATO ally Lithuania to help secure the alliance’s eastern flank. Germany already leads NATO’s battlegroup in Lithuania, a reinforced battalion of some 1,000 troops. Vilnius has repeatedly called on Berlin to send combat troops in the country, which borders the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. Germany pledged in June, 2022, to have a full brigade ready to defend Lithuania in case of an attack. Pistorius is in Lithuania to observe a joint NATO exercise labeled “Griffin Storm” between the German and Lithuanian armies. The Lithuanian capital will also host next month’s NATO leaders’ summit, less than a week after the exercises end. Do you think that the whole of Europe and America is afraid of Russian’s military ability ?
